Trust me Rob,you are not missing anything to crow about! The Wonder Woman book has been sissified to the point that it's painful to read: Diana is such a wimpy,moronic crybaby...she talks enemies into submission (THE GODS OF GOTHAM arc) prays them into submission (the OWAW crossover issue) and she doesn't seem to possess any ability to strategize or any fighting skills at all...she charges into enemies like a moron and instead of trying to subdue them she talks to them about love and crap,just to be pummeled of course. That's not a warrior...!
And she has also become a supermodel barbie that dresses pretty,only because the writer,as a gay man,is into all that Diva/Glam crap! During her big battle with Circe,they changed outfits several times in teh middle of a fight,and they talked way too much (How can you talk that much while having your face pummelled,is beyond me)
Also,the dialogues that Phil writes are ridiculous,you should read Diana's words,she sounds like a bad Barbara Cartland novel(I know,redundant!)
The book is full of florid,expository words that don't move the "plot"...In this book,everything is told instead of shown...Of course people won't buy it!
As long as Wonder Woman remains a passive,reactive Barbie who cries at the drop of a hat,she won't sell.
Funny,at some point,people complained that the whole BAD GIRL boom made a lot of female titles sell just because the T$ A...well ironically,of the major heroines,the one that sells the least is the one that shows the most skin...
CATWOMAN and BATGIRL sell better than WW simply because they are portrayed as STRONG,FEROCIOUS and INDEPENDENT women who kick ass,and they are written by real writers who know how to pace stories and show the dramatic action instead of telling...
Give me a Kickass WW instead of the glam/passive gay icon she has become
